I got a ticket for dark windows, peeled the front and left the back dark. It was still in the cops system that i got a tint ticket and got pulled over 3 times after that just because i had a tint ticket in the past. I live in Canada so our laws are probably different then yours (we get demerets) but that was with my Cavalier, and i bought a Balt. When it came time to tint my windows, i went legal. I have better things to spend my money on like making more boost haha. Whats tint worth you you is the end question...

In Illinois I believe 35% is legal limit on front windows.... and the back you can get whatever so you really shouldn't get a ticket.

that sux. it was a trooper that got me. he wrote me a seatbelt ticket cause it was a holiday weekend and he was trying to meet his quota. so, I kinda got off lucky cause it was only 25 bucks instead of the 160+ bucks that the tint ticket woulda been.

When you get a ticket or get in an at fault accident you lose merits. You gain merits for clean driving (1merrit every 2 years).

The more merit you have the cheaper your license and insurance are. Full merits =25% off In Manitoba. You start at 0 when you get your license. You can actually get - merits which in turn make your license and insurance more expensive as you pose a greater risk.

Get enough demerits and you could lose your license.

It can take forever to get them since you could lose 5 for one infraction if it was bad enough!

DUI.... Speeding excessively.... the fun stuff...

Jk o don't condone either maybe if it's a clear day in the middle of nowhere....

non moving violations are not going to affect your insurance rates.. ive had speeding and rolling stop all on supervison and i got wreckless while back and got it dropped long story about that. all my record shows to insurance is window tint. cops and courts can see my speeding and my rolling stop though

Just ask the tint shop to make it legal and shouldn't have any problems.

In BC you can tint your back windows as dark as you want but can't have any tint at all on the front windows

Just keep in mind that there is some level of tint on the stock windows. So if you buy 35% VLT, you will likely still be not legal due to the combined VLT.

Well... Canada has always been more of a helping force in multi-national coalitions rather than instigators or primary combatants. Ususually if you guys get involved, its because either us of the British started something.
